Trombone Shorty live in Williamsburg

Experience Trombone Shorty live on June 26th

Trombone Shorty, born Troy Andrews, is scheduled to perform at The Art Museums of Colonial Williamsburg on June 26, 2026. Andrews is a contemporary artist whose music blends New Orleans jazz traditions with elements of funk, rock, soul, and hip-hop. His performances are known for their high energy and incorporation of trombone as a lead instrument, diverging from traditional jazz ensembles. He frequently features a diverse range of instruments including trumpets, trombones, saxophones and rhythm sections in his arrangements.

The Art Museums of Colonial Williamsburg comprise two distinct museum buildings: the Abbott McCroskey Gallery and the DeWitt Wallace Decorative Arts Museum. Established as part of Colonial Williamsburg’s broader mission to interpret 18th-century American life, the museums focus on decorative arts, paintings, and sculpture created during the colonial period and the early republic. The Abbott McCroskey Gallery displays a rotating selection from Colonial Williamsburg’s extensive collections while the DeWitt Wallace Museum presents objects within recreated period room settings. The choice of this venue for Trombone Shorty represents an effort to broaden programming beyond strictly historical interpretations and engage diverse audiences with musical performance within a historically significant setting.
